(e) The Parent shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate of the Parent, signed by the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer and the principal financial or accounting officer of the Parent, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Canadian Final Prospectus and the U.S. Final Prospectus and any supplements or amendments thereto, as well as each electronic road show (if any) used in connection with the offering of the Securities, and this Agreement and that:

(i) the representations and warranties of the Issuers and the Parent in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and the Issuers and the Parent have complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on their respective parts to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date;

(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any notice objecting to its use has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the UK Issuer’s, BFI’s or the Parent’s knowledge, threatened; and

(iii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included in the Disclosure Package, the Canadian Final Prospectus and the U.S. Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Parent and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Canadian Final Prospectus and the U.S. Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

(f) The Parent shall have requested and caused Deloitte LLP to have furnished to the Representatives, at the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, letters, (which may refer to letters previously delivered to one or more of the Representatives), dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives, concerning the financial information with respect to the Parent set forth in the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Final Prospectus and the Canadian Final Prospectus.

(g) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereto) the Canadian Final Prospectus and the U.S. Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (f) of this Section 6; (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Parent and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package, the Canadian Final Prospectus and the U.S. Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereto), the Disclosure Package, the Canadian Final Prospectus and the U.S. Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto); or (iii) any decrease in the rating of any of the UK Issuer’s, BFI’s or the Parent’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change.

Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Parent in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

7. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Parent will reimburse the Underwriters severally through the Representatives on demand for all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.

8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The UK Issuer, BFI and the Parent agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter (which term, for the purpose of this Section 8, shall be deemed to include affiliates of such Underwriters), the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act, Canadian Securities Law or other federal, state or provincial statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereto, or in the Canadian Base Prospectus, the U.S. Base Prospectus, any Canadian Preliminary Prospectus, U.S. Preliminary Prospectus or any other preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Securities, the Canadian Final Prospectus, the U.S. Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any electronic road show, the information contained in the final term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(c) hereto, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the UK Issuer, BFI and the Parent will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein, it being understood and agreed that only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information describes as such in Section 8(b) hereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent may otherwise have.

(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the UK Issuer, BFI and the Parent, each of their directors, each of their officers who sign the Registration Statement or the Canadian Final Prospectus, and each person who controls the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuers and the Parent to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Issuers and the Parent acknowledge that the statements set forth in (i) the paragraph on the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and, under the heading “Underwriting,” (ii) the list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Securities, (iii) the sentences related to concessions and reallowances and (iv) the paragraph related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in any Canadian Preliminary Prospectus or U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the Canadian Final Prospectus and the U.S. Final Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in any Canadian Preliminary Prospectus or U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the Canadian Final Prospectus and the U.S. Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Issuers, the Parent and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the UK Issuer, BFI, the Parent and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Issuers and the Parent shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the U.S. Final Prospectus and the Canadian Final Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Issuers, the Parent and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent, respectively, who shall have signed the Registration Statement or the Canadian Final Prospectus, and each director of the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent shall have the same rights to contribution as the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

9. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter, the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement, the Canadian Final Prospectus and the U.S. Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Parent prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (i) trading in the Parent’s Class A Limited Voting Shares shall have been suspended by the Commission, any Qualifying Authority, the New York Stock Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on either of such exchanges, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by U.S. federal, New York state or Canadian authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States or Canada of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by any Canadian Preliminary Prospectus, U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the Canadian Final Prospectus or the U.S. Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of each of the UK Issuer, BFI, the Parent or their officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to (i) Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., at 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Debt Capital Markets Syndicate and (ii) HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Transaction Management Group, Fax: x0 (000) 000-0000, or, if sent to the Issuers or the Parent, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to (000) 000-0000 and confirmed to it at Brookfield Place, Suite 300, 000 Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX X0X 0X0, Attention: Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Managing Partner and Chief Financial Officer.

13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

14. No Fiduciary Duty. The Issuers and the Parent hereby acknowledge that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Issuers and the Parent, on the one hand, and the Underwriters and any affiliate through which it may be acting, on the other, (b) the Underwriters are acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent and (c) the Issuers and the Parent’s engagement of the Underwriters in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Issuers and the Parent agree that they are solely responsible for making their own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent on related or other matters). The Issuers and the Parent agree that they will not claim that the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

15. Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Issuers, the Parent and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

16. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York.

17. Judgment Currency. In respect of any judgment or order given or made for any amount due hereunder that is expressed and paid in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than United States dollars, the indemnifying party will indemnify each indemnified party or other person to whom such amount is due against any loss incurred by such indemnified party or other person, as the case may be, as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the currency amount of the country of the indemnified party is converted into the judgment currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (ii) the rate of exchange at which such indemnified party or other person, as the case may be, is able to purchase the currency, of the country of the indemnified party with the amount of the judgment currency actually received by such indemnified party or other person, as the case may be. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of each indemnifying party and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the currency of the country of the indemnified party.

18. Submission to Jurisdiction; Agent for Service. Each of the UK Issuer, BFI and the Parent hereby irrevocably agree that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby may be instituted in any state or federal court in The City of New York and in the respective courts of each party’s own corporate (or, in the case of the Underwriters, partnership) domicile with respect to actions brought against it, hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding in any state or federal court in The City of New York and hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Each of the UK Issuer, BFI and the Parent has appointed Brookfield Asset Management LLC (“BAM LLC”), Brookfield Place, 250 Xxxxx Street, 00^xxXxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000-0000 as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any such action arising out of or based on this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby which may be instituted in any state or federal court in The City of New York, expressly consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such action and waives any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto and designates its domicile, the domicile of BAM LLC specified above and any domicile that BAM LLC may have in the future as its domicile to receive any notice hereunder (including service of process). Such appointment shall be irrevocable. If for any reason BAM LLC (or any successor agent for this purpose) shall cease to act as agent for service of process as provided above, the Issuers and the Parent will promptly appoint a successor agent for this purpose reasonably acceptable to the Representatives. The Issuers and the Parent represent and warrant that the Authorized Agent has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Issuers and the Parent agree to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of the Authorized Agent in full force and effect, as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of such service to the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the UK Issuer, BFI or the Parent, as applicable.

19. Waiver of Jury Trial. The UK Issuer, BFI, the Parent and each of the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

20. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

21. Compliance with USA PATRIOT Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Issuers, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) (an "EEA Retail Investor") or in the United Kingdom (the “UK”) (a "UK Retail Investor"). For these purposes, an EEA Retail Investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, the “EU Prospectus Regulation”). For these purposes, a UK Retail Investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the Insurance Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently no key information document required by (i) Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the “EU PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to EEA Retail Investors or (ii) required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to UK Retail Investors has been prepared, and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any EEA Retail Investor or UK Retail Investor may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs Regulation or UK PRIIPs Regulation respectively. This term sheet has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Notes in any Member State of the EEA or in the UK will be made pursuant to an exemption under the EU Prospectus Regulation or the UK Prospectus Regulation respectively from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of securities.

In the UK, the short form base shelf prospectus, the preliminary prospectus supplement and this document are being distributed only to, and are directed only at, and any offer subsequently made may only be directed at persons who (i) have professional experience in matters relating to investments and who qualify as investment professionals within the meaning of Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Xxx 0000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (as amended, the “Financial Promotion Order”), (ii) are persons falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) (“high net worth companies, unincorporated associations, etc.”) of the Financial Promotion Order, (iii) are outside the UK, or (iv) are persons to whom an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) in connection with the issue or sale of any securities may otherwise lawfully be communicated or caused to be communicated (all such persons together being referred to as “relevant persons”). The short form base shelf prospectus, the preliminary prospectus supplement and this document are directed only at relevant persons and must not be acted on or relied on in the UK by persons who are not relevant persons. In the UK, any investment or investment activity to which the short form base shelf prospectus, preliminary prospectus supplement and this document relates is available only to relevant persons and will be engaged in only with relevant persons.
